«Irrationality: A History of the Dark Side of Reason» is the philosophical essay by Justin E. H. Smith, published by Princeton University Press in paperback.
A historical journey through irrationality from antiquity to the present, with stops in sex, music, religion, politics, art and science. The author argues that unreason is a constitutive part of human life and that every triumph of reason has been temporary and reversible: rational schemes, applied on a large scale, tend to turn into their opposite.
Published in 2020, the book has 344 pages, text in English and a new preface by the author; it is framed in philosophy and history.
For readers of philosophy and history with an interest in a broad look at the role of unreason in public and private life.
